Pine Hills of tho South.

Spots can be found all over the pine hills
of the southern states as healthy as any
forests in the world. Some invalids are
beginning to understand this fact and
profit by it. At least million invalids
and wealthy people in the north and west
would winter in these southern pine hills
and on the gulf shore if they knew the
honest truth about the climate of the
southern states.-Chicago Times.

mo surprising Conditions Under Which

During the long days of summer the
Russian peasants live almost without

moments at mcal-time especially. Natu-

What struck us most in regard TO these
slumbering scenes was the suddcnness
with which the men fell into repose Some
people are said TO be able to command
sleep the moment they court its favors;
and the Russian peasants would seem to
have the same power, for he is asleep as
soon as his tools are thrown down One mo-

scanty meal Tan onion and a piece of rye

The positions they choose for this purpose
are often most surprising Where a piece

an inch to save them from rolling into the
deep river below. They may even be seen
fast asleep in the sun on the narrow edre

Of the stream; yet so sound is their repose
that though you watch them till their short
hour Is out You will not see them move limb

him on his rashnCss, and he will not under

The former in his Ways of Life" wrote in
a manner that would inspire q man fitted
only 20 be good farmer or a fair mechanic
with the idea that he could become a states
man. The latter in his Timothy Titcomb
Letters" while he wrote much that encoUr-
aged the young toward higher and better
life, did not encourage unhealthy, impossi-

did he advise the study Of the reasonably
attainable, a direction Of the aims. homes
and ambitions Of life toward the higher and
better, but always within the bounds Of
reason. In other words, he approved of
kiJe flying, but did not believe in cutting

deserve the careful consideration Of all
young men troubled with surplus Of am

How many men there are who cut their
kite strings; not content with watching
their kites sailing almost to the clouds, they
want to see them go higher SO having no

rolled to the desired form, the mass of red
hot metal is placed in a groove in two
plates, which are moved in reverse direc-

at the places where the iron first enters be-

grooves become more closely in conformity

The whole is painted black, picked OUT
about the reach and spokes with what must
once have been mahogany red. At the rear
is leathern scat for an outrider, and so
high do the marvellous springs rise that
they furnish arms to the seat Ornaments

rate portions Of the coach, and braided
leather is used about the coachman's seat.
This old carriage was a car of triumph to
the old General of seventy, though it is to
pc feared 1t held WEAKNESS as well as pride
For Lafayette was over seventy years of
age when he received the invitation from
the American people which made him the
'Guest of the Nation" as the dignitaries
used to say when they toasted him. From
Buffalo to Albany the much-feted old man
was allowed neither pause nor sleep Dis
tlnguished citizens lent their horses as re-
lays. Every meal was a banquet at a diff
ferent town. Sometimes they were eaten
in the middle Of the night. Guards of citi-
zens accompanied the carriage out of each
village, and only left it when it was met by
other escorts. Everywhere cannon were
fired, fireworks illuminated cities and for
SITS alike, maidens strewed flowers, old
gentlemen drank toasts to no end martial
music was played, the women cooked
luncheons, and the very babies stood around

No sooner would the poor old man curl
down in the corner of the seat for a nap
than, according to Levasseur, his volumin-
Gus secretary, he would be aroused by the
cries of citizens and would be " amazed at
the splendor of tie illumination that met
his eyes and overcome at the enthusiasm of
the loyal people who had gathered to well
come him."
But when the General got to Albany ne
was allowed to go 10 bed and actually in
dulge in nights sleep. Then he FASTENED
on to Boston to attend the laying of the cor
per-stone of the Bunker Hill Monument.
One of the incidents Of this imposing cere-
mony was presentation of gold-headed
cane to the General, fashioned out of por-
ton OF the wooden pyramid which had pre-
viously served as monument on that nota-
able spot.
''1n publishing his safe arrival goes on
the quaint chronicle of Levasseur, THAT
newspapers gave great JOY to ell parts Of
the United States, as well as surprise In
truth he had passed over in about four
months route of some five thousand miles,
across seas near the equator, and lakes not
far from the frozen pole, assembled rapid
streams to the limits of civilization in the
new world, and been welcomed by the in
habitants of sixteen republics"
One of the hubs of tho old coach is
broken now. The silver handles of the
door are furnished. Yet it looks stately
still, and an air of distinction clings TO it
even in its decay
The greater part of the Lafayette relics
are to be found in Albany, from where the
coach was brought.

Othcr thoughts and other pleasures
Greet us wih the wintry cline.
From tho field OF strife and turmoil
Comes no sound OF bat OF ball;
Silence roigns within the grand standi
Waves no banner on the wall.
Put away tho little score-book,
Give she tired brain a rest:
Now the ''pcnnant" Is the guordon
OF the team that played the best.
tNow the umpire from his labors,
To QUOT spot retires.
Whore, secure from cranks and kickerh
Peace with JOY his heart inspires.

With It's track so smooth and bright

Ger the diamonds pail OF white.

Fractured spincs will rule the day.

Whirls this merry world away.
